Thank you for an exceptional review! I bought the weather tech cup phone for my 2020 Tacoma and it wobbled way too much in my cup holders. I’m definitely going with the pro clip. Side note, I watch A LOT of Tacoma videos that cover a wide range of customizing. Your quality of content and spot on reviews and walk arounds are among the best I’ve seen. Keep up the good work!!
I did the weather tech one and had the same problem. After a bit of trial and error ended up with a Course mount with the Magsafe option and got a Magsafe iPhone case. I can still charge it on my wireless charger and it sticks to the Taco Course mount like magic. Never spins or slips and it is my current favorite minimalist iPhone mount. Check it out.❤
I have a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD- Off Road Premium 4x4 double cab, short bed in Super White. (I'm from Ontario, Canada). I added the TRD Pro grill to it, put in a subwoofer, added a bunch of decals inside and out of the truck, I put all LEDs inside the cab for the light to be better and crisper.
2017 grey Toyota Tacoma off road 4x4 double cab. Got a pro comp 6” basic lift with fuel chrome 20x10 triton rims on bfgoodrich a/t tires 285/65r20. Viper alarm 1 way. Rust proofed by zibart. 4 led rock lights and 4 led strip interior lights. Weather tech rain guards. Upgraded ground cables and power cable to alternator. Also did a audio control lc2 in-line converter that goes into my amp (alpine 700 watt) that’s pushing my p3 DVC 2 ohm sub. Have a small kicker key 4 channel amp that’s powering 2 1” tweeters 2 3/4” tweeters that was custom mounted on the snail pillars. I have kicker coaxial 6x9 for the front and 6x5.5 in the back. Soft top bed cover. 6 inch drop hitch. Leds all around but turn signals (because I hate hyper flash and not comfortable with how much heat it makes). Opt7 40” tailgate light bar hard wired to the tail light harness. Also door Jam insert (so it doesn’t scratch) reused my off-road OEM skit plate (which took time and trimming). Also windows used to be 5% all around but wind shield but got a warning from a cop and now fronts are 35%. And a 24 inch light bar
Recently purchased a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road. Currently own a 2017 Toyota 4runner and we love that, so definitely wanted to add another Yota to the stable. I haven't had a chance to do any upgrades on the Taco yet, but the 4runner has been fun to mod. Have a Rhino Rack Roof Rack, a Tepui rooftop tent, after market running boards, and blacked out badges so far. For my Taco this phone mount would be the first upgrade 😆. Great channel for the passion of Toyotas keep up the good work!
Like the set up you done on the taco. Since I got mine taco done different stuff like pop a lock, remote start and front camera. Those tires aren't cheap! Those 4runner rims look awesome.
2017 Barcelona Red SR5. No lift just yet (wanna pay it off first lol), but I plan on putting 2 inches on it. Also plan on blacking out the wheels and emblems. Only bought it last March but so far, its incredible. Pretty much my dream truck, it's everything I could want from a truck
Another great Taco Vid 👍 Mine is a 16’ SR5 DCSB Silver Sky Metallic -Michelin Defenders -Sport Chrome Grill -Pop Lock Automatic Tailgate lock -Electronic Compass Rearview Mirror -Hardwired Vantrue N2 Pro dashcam -MESO Customs LED Interior lights -JDM ASTAR LED Headlights -Tyger Soft Top T3 Tri Fold bed cover -Fumoto Engine Oil Drain Valve -mud flaps -various Tacoma emblems, door sill guards, bed mat, seat covers, etc. :)
Great review! I always struggle with my phone. I have a 2019 Cement Gray TRD OR 4x4. I have Method wheels on Pro Comp 285/70R17. I am about to change the door speakers this weekend. Did the AC drain mod, put a clamp on the tailgate to deter thieves, and just changed the display on my stereo. Thank you again for your videos.
Great review i like how you showed the functionality and how to put it on! I personally don't have 1 but now that i think about it I really need 1. While I'm driving i forget that my phone is in my pocket and i need to reach for it and its better just to mount it and have it right in front of you.
Hey C.K. just crossed over from my 2015 Ford Focus ST to a 2020 Tacoma Trd Off Road. It was the reason of where I was to where i am now. I was living in Austin, Texas (traffic is Terrible), to living in a rural area in south Texas coastal area. I miss my little hatch every now and again, but I love my truck for reason of fishing etc..and potholes can kiss my butt. Watch alot of people with Taco's to see what kinds of mods look good. Thanks for the information on this product; happy trails!
I went with proclip, I attached a ball and siliconed a Magic Mount pro XL magnet, it’s sooooo much better attaching your phone/iPad to a magnet. It’s super solid and won’t come off when off-roading
2018 Cement Access cab 6speed manual, Have a TRD pro grille and skidplate (was installed on the truck when I bought it), new tires on stock rims. Grabbing a transfer case skidplate and looking at a few different options for canopies to make a camping setup in the bed. Also did a few other small mods like the AC drain which I highly recommend only cost me about $3.00, and building a mount for my high lift jack in the bed
Nice comparison. Just FYI for viewers, you can use a ProClip mount with a X-Grip holder together. That's what I'm doing to get the best of both worlds. I didn't like the fact that ProClip charges a lot for their phone specific holders and appreciate the X-Grip "universal" fit better. I also don't know if I'll have my current phone for all that long (or as long as my vehicle) so it made sense to mix the two products. ProClip's mounting solution to each specific vehicle is unmatched but they have cheaper options to get phone holders so I went with RAM.
I use the Magic Mount by Scosche. It attaches to your dash via 3M adhevise mount pads. Then you stick one of the varied-sized metal plates onto your phone/case and attach it to the mount. I delivered food part time for almost 3 years and never had a problem with it. I no longer have that part time job but if i’m in my truck, my phone is always mounted.
I just wanted to say you really motivated me to get my first Tacoma truck. I’m 26 and not really a hands-on type of truck dude, but watching your videos gave me sooo much confidence. I hope you know the impact your videos have even long after you upload them 🙂. Appreciate you!
Hi Chloe, Awesome demo .. 👍 I noticed you already mentioned in your video that the heat from the vent will make your phone hotter while you're using your phone mount, and especially during the winter when you're using the heat then it will definitely hinder the performance of your phone, and sometimes your phone might turn off suddenly of excessive heat, so you definitely want to close the vent, or redirect the heat flow to the bottom of your dashboard instead to keep your phone from becoming hot... Is your Toyota a TRD sport off Road premium trim package?
My rig is a 92 Toyota pickup 2wd with a fab tech mid travel kit and a rear add a leaf 31in KO2s on raw aluminum anerican Racing wheels 3 inch front fiberglass and regeared stock engine with 330k on the dash I’m picking up a brand new Tacoma OR DCSB with the manual trans in December your videos are great and entertaining during this quarantine
I know this video is old but the pro clip is excellent and their specific phone mounts that have the holder for a charging cable is awesome. It makes it so you can just set you phone in the holder and boom it's charging. I've had the same phone holder on two different vehicle mounts and I love it.
Sweet video, I’ve been thinking about an X-grip and this vid helped me a lot. Just got a new 2020 TRD off road, so I haven’t done too much. I put in a new grill because the stock one is horrible, and I put some ecoological bumper shells on those rear chrome bumpers. Just got a tonneau cover too! It’s gonna be sick to slowly add more and more onto her.
Love your videos! I have a 2018 TRD off road Tacoma, I swapped the stock tires and rims out for ProComp blacked out rims and 34inch all terrain tires with a 3inch lift. I really love my Tacoma!
2018 Trd off road, so far I added a roof rack and plan on getting my lift, tires and wheels done pretty soon! Love the videos, hopefully you get to do more mods soon and do more reviews!
I have a 2018 TRD off road 4x4 in cement grey with long bed, ARE camper shell, trd pro wheels (wrapped in Falken wildpeaks), trd pro front grille, and some minor aesthetics.
I have an army green 2020 TRD Pro which I love... I have done more than a couple of things; mounted a KC M Rack with 4 side flood lights and a Pro6 light bar, C4 Fab rock sliders, raptor grille lights, SPOD Bantam 2.0 with touchscreen, side mirrors black sequential signal lights, hard folding tonneau cover and a bunch of other minor mods both outside and inside the truck. I want to say I love your channel and your badass Taco! Please keep making videos they’re awesome!
Awesome review! also love the look on your Tacoma. My Tacoma: 2020 TRD Off-Road in Cement gray, no major mods except small cosmetic work and interior lighting. Wanting to upgrade wheels with KO2s soon to begin with more of the major mods. I have had the truck since November and honestly I just love it, best decision i've made
Had a dark red 99 Tacoma sr5 xcab 4x4 v6 5spd, tan interior. Lifted with helper springs and front spacers. Flex sealed the bottom 8" or so. Should never have sold it. Silver 2007 Tacoma Prerunner base access cab rwd 4cyl 5spd. Didn't like the 4cyl lack of power. Silver 2007 Tacoma Prerunner base double cab rwd v6 auto, lifted with blocks and spacers, Window tint, debadged, Helo rims and a 2 piece kayak rack. Flex sealed the bottom of this one too. Had to sell to get a 4x4 when I moved back north. I drive a 19 Jetta now but someday I'll get another Taco, I just know it!
I have a 2009 Tacoma I only have tinted window and a sub but in the process of a 4” lift with rims and tire, metal front and rear bumpers, side step, an exhaust, and repainting it
3rd gen double cab SR5 4x2 bone stock. I’m saving up to get a 4x4 again. My 1995 V-6 Xtracab 5-speed manual i got from my dad died right before I started getting into Overlanding. So that was a $27k hit to my savings. I’m almost back to where I can get a 4x4. At least I can sell the 4x2 fairly easily here in Hawai’i. I do miss the compact size of my first gen.
So far the only thing I’ve done to my 3rd gen sport is add a meso customs coin holder for the slot in my center console area as well as the chrome delete kit
Love your gear reviews Chloe.....🙂 I have the Ram X Mount....with a suction cup for the windshield. I’m a pilot so I use different Ram mounts in the plane and helicopter, depending on what I’m flying that day. I like the suction cup attachment ‘cause it’s easy to take from my Jeep to my Ram 1500 to the aircraft. Thanks for your videos....looking forward 👀 to more...!
2017 TRD sport 4x4..so for I’ve upgraded my wheels and tires. The interior I have Meso customs ultimate dome lights. I’ve also put on a Tonneau cover on it. Hoping to do a lot more though
Red the only negative I have is that it seems to hunt for gears from time to time. I know a lot of people have had success with going to 4.88 or 5.29 gears just sucks it doesn’t come from factory like that. Other than that I love it. It’s a great truck
I have a 2019 Tacoma Waialua edition in cement which is specific for HAWAII. It’s still stock but will be adding a lift and bigger wheel in the future.
I ended up going with the Iottie cup holder mount. I don't typically use my cup holders for cups, cause I don't like beverages in my vehicles, so it made sense for me. It is adjustable so it fits securely in my cup holder. The only thing I don't like about it is that the Tacoma has those little spring loaded flaps to kinda hold a cup in place, and finding just the right spot to expand the fittings so as not to damage those flaps was a bit of a pain. It puts too much stress on the clip if placed directly on it. I also like that it keeps my phone out of my line of vision, making it far less likely that I might become distracted looking at the screen. The last bit I did was run my power cable from inside the center console down the underside of the E-brake area, and out of the side so there is very little wire showing. I love cable management. 🥰

I'm driving a white 2019 TRD Offroad Tacoma DCSB with a six speed manual transmission. 25k on it now and I'm still happy with it. Not too many mods just some new BFG KM3 mud terrains (255/85/R16), a Meso Customs Gasshole, Headwaters seat covers and I replaced the shift knob with an old wood one that I've had in about three other rigs. Its a great little truck for getting around in the mountains.
I have had my 2019 cement trd off road long bed for about a year now. I've done led bulbs from deautoled.com, and rci off road bed rack, roam vagabond roof top tent, baja designs amber ditch lights, avs window visors, pro grill with raptor lights, and bed stiffiners from total chaos fabrication. Wheels and tires are next.
I personally prefer the iOttie one touch 4 phone mount. Mounts either on the windshield or on the dash. Never really been a huge fan of vent mounted phone holders. Keeps the dash clean and doesn’t block any buttons you’d normally use for the radio etc. Also, keep in mind that during colder months when you have the heat on it’ll blast that hot air directly onto your phone.
Great review video. My 2016 Tacoma is a DCSB blue limited. It’s pretty loaded already. But I added 275/65/18 oversized tires. Blacked out badges. 9500ix radar detector, Weathertech mats, Tint, TRD Pro skid plate and shift knob, metal oil filter housing, and 2.5 inch toytec lift kit. I use a clip on type mount from Amazon but it rattles all the time. Would not recommend. I’d like to try the ram mount. Thanks for reading
Awesome review, so helpful and detailed. Keep your videos coming. I just got a 2012 4runner a week ago and shipping for a phone mount. Im I too late for the ram mount giveaway?
You can actually mount the ram mount to the Proclip USA base, you'll need 1 or 2 more components depending on your setup. I use the RAM Mount/Proclip combo on on my 5th gen 4runner.
I have a '16 Tacoma and just recently bought a Hondo Garage mount. I don't know why I waited so long. It's a great mount! I'm also using the X-Grip. it's cumbersome to get the phone in and out, but it does hold tight.
Glad I found your channel, good information, I have been looking for a good mount for my phone...2017 Sport 4x4...I have done a lot of stuff..haha..Lift and tires, Prinsu Rack, partial rear wrap, rock sliders, New Grill, Scoop light bar, lower light bar, just purchased new Sequential Headlights and New fogs that I need to install
I want it!!! I have a 19 Tacoma and I added led interior and exterior lights, wheel spacers, predator steps, hard cover, rain guards, and dark tints! It looks pretty bad ass now lol
New 3rd Gen Tacoma SR5, so far only blacked out the chrome, added dividers for inside storage compartments, toolbox in the back, and tinted the windows. Hoping for a lot more changes in the future. Thanks!
Purchased a wall phone mount ( comes with two $9) from Amazon didn’t use the adhesive tape that comes with it but used Velcro and mounted it by the emergency brake. The phone is out of the way, easy to see who is calling because of the Bluetooth connection, and with the Apple play I’m good.
Great vid. I’ve been looking into and trying to decide which of these phone mounts to get for my Tacoma. I have a 2019 SR 4x4 with the TSS off-road package added. So far all that I have done is add a Meso Customs Coin Holder, Pedal Commander, and removed the front air dam. I have videos showing all of these on my channel. Also just purchased an intermittent wiper switch since the SR doesn’t come with it. Will have a video of that next week once part arrives.
X grip is not the best mount for off road unless you use rubber bands or something to secure the corners. the quick grip is FAR more secure. The only non enclosed phone mount I trust on a motorcycle.. Keep up the excellent content.
Thanks Chloe for the Ram Mount review. I've been looking at buying the Ram Mount but it's so expensive all together. That hondo piece is $40...geezz. I just bought a 2019 TRD Off Road last month so I haven't mod anything yet. 😁
I have a 2017 tacoma trd sport with a prisnu roof rack C4 hybrid high clearance bumper and and McNeil racing 3” bulge front and back fenders going for a new wrap this summer
I actually bought a 2020 Tacoma Off-Road because if your review. So far, I did no invasive mods, such as black vinyl on the trims, swapped the tail lights from 20' to 18', blacked out the emblems. Now that I have a kid on the way, that phone holder will be an amazing addition for us. We've always had a hard time figuring where to put our phone but just plopping it down easily will make our journeys efficient. Thanks for the giveaway, and keep making videos. Btw, you rocked that boxing match...do you think that other girl was an challenging match?
I like the RAM mount better. It doesn’t block the vent or the infotainment monitor. The other mount blocks either the vent and the infotainment monitor or just the infotainment monitor. I am using a cup holder mount now but that puts the phone to low in your line of sight. You have to look down and lose sight of the road. Thank you for this very informative vid. I love your channel! 🙂
Thank you for an exceptional review! I bought the weather tech cup phone for my 2020 Tacoma and it wobbled way too much in my cup holders. I’m definitely going with the pro clip.

I did the weather tech one and had the same problem. After a bit of trial and error ended up with a Course mount with the Magsafe option and got a Magsafe iPhone case. I can still charge it on my wireless charger and it sticks to the Taco Course mount like magic. Never spins or slips and it is my current favorite minimalist iPhone mount. Check it out.❤

I appreciate that! 😊
My heart skipped a beat when you popped that dash out 😂😂😮💨
Straight to the point review. Good job.
I don't have a Tacoma i am a Tundra owner but i am here only to see you .You are Stunning
Amazing videos Chloe LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

You made the right choice with the pro clip. It looks sleek and not super gadgety like the other one. Great review and install on the two mounts.

Had a dark red 99 Tacoma sr5 xcab 4x4 v6 5spd, tan interior. Lifted with helper springs and front spacers. Flex sealed the bottom 8" or so. Should never have sold it.
Silver 2007 Tacoma Prerunner base access cab rwd 4cyl 5spd. Didn't like the 4cyl lack of power.
Silver 2007 Tacoma Prerunner base double cab rwd v6 auto, lifted with blocks and spacers, Window tint, debadged, Helo rims and a 2 piece kayak rack. Flex sealed the bottom of this one too. Had to sell to get a 4x4 when I moved back north.
I drive a 19 Jetta now but someday I'll get another Taco, I just know it!
Just recently picked up a 2013 SR5 Access Cab 6ft Bed. Haven't done anything to it yet but looking forward to making it pretty!
I have a 2009 Tacoma I only have tinted window and a sub but in the process of a 4” lift with rims and tire, metal front and rear bumpers, side step, an exhaust, and repainting it
I use the Mob Armor mobnetic pro. I like the minimalism of it. The ram and proclip are also great though. Good video.
3rd gen double cab SR5 4x2 bone stock. I’m saving up to get a 4x4 again. My 1995 V-6 Xtracab 5-speed manual i got from my dad died right before I started getting into Overlanding. So that was a $27k hit to my savings. I’m almost back to where I can get a 4x4. At least I can sell the 4x2 fairly easily here in Hawai’i. I do miss the compact size of my first gen.
Thanks Chloe I went with the X ram because it works with my phone case that has a pop socket on it
So far the only thing I’ve done to my 3rd gen sport is add a meso customs coin holder for the slot in my center console area as well as the chrome delete kit
2020 Tacoma TRD Pro no mods yet. Haven’t even driven it much yet. Had it over a month and only have 200 miles on it.
Love your gear reviews Chloe.....🙂 I have the Ram X Mount....with a suction cup for the windshield. I’m a pilot so I use different Ram mounts in the plane and helicopter, depending on what I’m flying that day. I like the suction cup attachment ‘cause it’s easy to take from my Jeep to my Ram 1500 to the aircraft. Thanks for your videos....looking forward 👀 to more...!
2017 TRD sport 4x4..so for I’ve upgraded my wheels and tires. The interior I have Meso customs ultimate dome lights. I’ve also put on a Tonneau cover on it. Hoping to do a lot more though
Red the only negative I have is that it seems to hunt for gears from time to time. I know a lot of people have had success with going to 4.88 or 5.29 gears just sucks it doesn’t come from factory like that. Other than that I love it. It’s a great truck
I have a 2019 Tacoma Waialua edition in cement which is specific for HAWAII. It’s still stock but will be adding a lift and bigger wheel in the future.
Kody Tamashiro ho braddah no forget da gold chain ahh 🤙🏻
I ended up going with the Iottie cup holder mount. I don't typically use my cup holders for cups, cause I don't like beverages in my vehicles, so it made sense for me. It is adjustable so it fits securely in my cup holder. The only thing I don't like about it is that the Tacoma has those little spring loaded flaps to kinda hold a cup in place, and finding just the right spot to expand the fittings so as not to damage those flaps was a bit of a pain. It puts too much stress on the clip if placed directly on it. I also like that it keeps my phone out of my line of vision, making it far less likely that I might become distracted looking at the screen. The last bit I did was run my power cable from inside the center console down the underside of the E-brake area, and out of the side so there is very little wire showing. I love cable management. 🥰
Niceeeeeeeee. I find using the Taco Garage Dashtop Multi-Mount is the best and easy install.

I'm driving a white 2019 TRD Offroad Tacoma DCSB with a six speed manual transmission. 25k on it now and I'm still happy with it. Not too many mods just some new BFG KM3 mud terrains (255/85/R16), a Meso Customs Gasshole, Headwaters seat covers and I replaced the shift knob with an old wood one that I've had in about three other rigs. Its a great little truck for getting around in the mountains.
who cares?. tell us about your experience with either of the phone mounts above
Great video and review!
By the way, which video editing program do you use? Thank you!
Final Cut Pro X
Chloe Kuo awesome, thanks!!!
Been looking for one to use in my ‘20 Taco, thanks for the info! So far I’ve upgraded wheels and tires (well they’re ordered at least).
I have had my 2019 cement trd off road long bed for about a year now. I've done led bulbs from deautoled.com, and rci off road bed rack, roam vagabond roof top tent, baja designs amber ditch lights, avs window visors, pro grill with raptor lights, and bed stiffiners from total chaos fabrication. Wheels and tires are next.
2018 Cal Blue TRD Pro. I haven’t done anything to it beside mud and dirt on the paint.
I personally prefer the iOttie one touch 4 phone mount. Mounts either on the windshield or on the dash. Never really been a huge fan of vent mounted phone holders. Keeps the dash clean and doesn’t block any buttons you’d normally use for the radio etc. Also, keep in mind that during colder months when you have the heat on it’ll blast that hot air directly onto your phone.
Great review video. My 2016 Tacoma is a DCSB blue limited. It’s pretty loaded already. But I added 275/65/18 oversized tires. Blacked out badges. 9500ix radar detector, Weathertech mats, Tint, TRD Pro skid plate and shift knob, metal oil filter housing, and 2.5 inch toytec lift kit. I use a clip on type mount from Amazon but it rattles all the time. Would not recommend. I’d like to try the ram mount. Thanks for reading
Dang! I missed this vid...I been wanting the Ram for my 3rd gen...good video
with the ProClips USA, you can buy extensions to raise the phone so in horizontal mode, it doesn't cover the infotainment display.
I love the Mob Armor magnet mount.
If it starts sliding around, build up the backing with strips of gaffers tape.
You are so smart and I love your taco reviews
Awesome review, so helpful and detailed. Keep your videos coming. I just got a 2012 4runner a week ago and shipping for a phone mount. Im I too late for the ram mount giveaway?
You can actually mount the ram mount to the Proclip USA base, you'll need 1 or 2 more components depending on your setup. I use the RAM Mount/Proclip combo on on my 5th gen 4runner.
I have a '16 Tacoma and just recently bought a Hondo Garage mount. I don't know why I waited so long. It's a great mount! I'm also using the X-Grip. it's cumbersome to get the phone in and out, but it does hold tight.
1997 Tacoma. 300K miles on it. I’ve owned it for 18 years now.
Glad I found your channel, good information, I have been looking for a good mount for my phone...2017 Sport 4x4...I have done a lot of stuff..haha..Lift and tires, Prinsu Rack, partial rear wrap, rock sliders, New Grill, Scoop light bar, lower light bar, just purchased new Sequential Headlights and New fogs that I need to install
I want it!!! I have a 19 Tacoma and I added led interior and exterior lights, wheel spacers, predator steps, hard cover, rain guards, and dark tints! It looks pretty bad ass now lol
New 3rd Gen Tacoma SR5, so far only blacked out the chrome, added dividers for inside storage compartments, toolbox in the back, and tinted the windows. Hoping for a lot more changes in the future. Thanks!
I like the way the ram x grip can move in multiple directions
Purchased a wall phone mount ( comes with two $9) from Amazon didn’t use the adhesive tape that comes with it but used Velcro and mounted it by the emergency brake. The phone is out of the way, easy to see who is calling because of the Bluetooth connection, and with the Apple play I’m good.
Great vid. I’ve been looking into and trying to decide which of these phone mounts to get for my Tacoma. I have a 2019 SR 4x4 with the TSS off-road package added. So far all that I have done is add a Meso Customs Coin Holder, Pedal Commander, and removed the front air dam. I have videos showing all of these on my channel. Also just purchased an intermittent wiper switch since the SR doesn’t come with it. Will have a video of that next week once part arrives.
Just checked your videos out, truck looks great!
Thank you!!
I bought the pro clip due this review and love it!! Now they need to release the holder for the new iphone 12 pro max . Great video!!
Thanks for the great video. Cheers from a fellow member of the sad class of 2020 (UChicago)
I feel you dude... good luck!
I found putting things near the driver side vent, it gets in the way of the wiper control
Just bought a 2014 tacoma! Haven't done anything yet but plans to do things soon!!
Perhaps but a little bit of lock tight on the screws. Should definitely help them from not coming loose.
2017 Magnetic grey Trd off road 4x4 Taco only thing so far is adding my ko2 tires
I dont have a Tacoma...YET! I want one and will hopefully get one in the near future.
X grip is not the best mount for off road unless you use rubber bands or something to secure the corners. the quick grip is FAR more secure. The only non enclosed phone mount I trust on a motorcycle.. Keep up the excellent content.
Thanks Chloe for the Ram Mount review. I've been looking at buying the Ram Mount but it's so expensive all together. That hondo piece is $40...geezz.
I just bought a 2019 TRD Off Road last month so I haven't mod anything yet. 😁
Great review and definitely looking forward to more videos and mods to your Tacoma keep posting! 👍👍
I have a 2017 tacoma trd sport with a prisnu roof rack C4 hybrid high clearance bumper and and McNeil racing 3” bulge front and back fenders going for a new wrap this summer
Sadly i dont have a one, but i love the first gen taco and i would def put some 3 inch lift and 33 inch tires.. drivesafe
I actually bought a 2020 Tacoma Off-Road because if your review. So far, I did no invasive mods, such as black vinyl on the trims, swapped the tail lights from 20' to 18', blacked out the emblems. Now that I have a kid on the way, that phone holder will be an amazing addition for us. We've always had a hard time figuring where to put our phone but just plopping it down easily will make our journeys efficient. Thanks for the giveaway, and keep making videos. Btw, you rocked that boxing match...do you think that other girl was an challenging match?
Loved the video. I don't have a Tacoma yet, but seriously thinking about getting one soon.
I like the RAM mount better. It doesn’t block the vent or the infotainment monitor. The other mount blocks either the vent and the infotainment monitor or just the infotainment monitor. I am using a cup holder mount now but that puts the phone to low in your line of sight. You have to look down and lose sight of the road. Thank you for this very informative vid. I love your channel! 🙂
17 Pro. I kept it stock cause it already look beautiful to me. My GF used to hate it because I slept outside with my It too much.
Hi can I install a Pro clip on my Tundra? 🤔
Does the X-grip big enough to hold an iPhone pro max or a Note 20 Ultra?
